QUESTION:
Problem 43P
Problem describe a situation. For each problem, draw a motion diagram, a force identification diagram, and a freebody diagram.
An elevator, suspended by a single cable, has just left the tenth floor and is speeding up as it descends toward the ground floor.
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 3
We have to draw a motion diagram, a force identification diagram, and a freebody diagram for the situation described in the problem.
The acceleration \(\vec{a}\) acting on the elevator acts in the downwards direction as it is descending toward the ground floor. The velocity of the elevator keeps on increasing as it descends.
The motion diagram for the problem is as shown in the figure below.
